The problem would be he doesn't see them as insults. In his mind it's either a joke or connstructive criticism. He walked in yesterday looked at the chili I had started ( which by the way was really good ) and said "What the hell are you trying to cook?" with this disgusted look on his face and then doesn't understand why I'm "pouting". I know that it's not that big a deal but what mafe it worse was that I was in such an amazingly good mood he wrecked it.
